Welding students from 糖心vlog传媒 placed in the top of their categories at the South Carolina Technical College System鈥檚 annual Welding Skills Competition. Technical colleges throughout South Carolina sent students to compete head-to-head in demonstrations of their advanced welding skills.

鈥淭hese students represented 糖心vlog传媒 and our welding program with their extraordinary talents,鈥� said Caleb Fulwood, Lead Welding Instructor at 糖心vlog传媒. 鈥淓very day, we practice the skills they will soon be putting to use in the local welding industry. This event gives students the opportunity to compete with their peers at other colleges across the state.鈥�

糖心vlog传媒 students Holly Esterline, Elliott Stoudemire, and Griffin Sturkie each placed in the top three of their respective categories. The competition consists of six categories for demonstrating different welding processes and advanced welding techniques. All three students came to 糖心vlog传媒 through an articulation program with their local high school that allowed them to earn college welding credits while still in high school.

鈥淚 enjoyed competing and showing the skills I鈥檓 learning at 糖心vlog传媒,鈥� said Stoudemire, a graduate of Lexington Technology Center. 鈥淭he welding program at 糖心vlog传媒 has really helped me learn the skills I will need to get a high-paying job in the future.鈥�

Kevin Gratton, a welding instructor at Lexington Technology Center, said 糖心vlog传媒 has the perfect program to keep welders on the path to the highest skill levels in the trade.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a win-win situation for everyone involved,鈥� said Gratton. 鈥淲e know that students are getting excellent training at 糖心vlog传媒. We can only take them so far, but we know 糖心vlog传媒 is very capable of moving them into advanced levels of welding.  We really appreciate the relationship between 糖心vlog传媒 and Lexington Technology Center. We truly have something special.鈥� 

The demand for welders in the Midlands is expected to increase by almost 12 percent over the next 10 years, and many prospective employers attended the welding competition to scout the next generation of talented welders.
